Loughbrack wedge tomb

Situated on a level tract of wettish ground between Loughbrack and Knocknabansha Hills. Many gallery orthostats are missing but outer-walling, doubled at both sides, is well preserved and indicates a diminution in height and width towards the E. A large septal-stone at the W and adjoining it a long sidestone to the N and two alongside to the S remain of the gallery. The short surviving length of gallery is 1.3m wide. Immediately forward of the N end of the septal-stone there is a small transversely set stone. Almost 7m E of the septal-stone a transverse stone links the inner lines of the outer-walls. This stone may be part of the outer-walling though it could be the backstone of the gallery. The inner line of outer-walling at the S is represented by six stones. Outside and flanking the eastern half of this and extending further to the E there is an outer line of seven thin stones. Six stones of an inner line of outer-walling remain on the N side of the monument and there are four stones of an outer line. Just W of mid-length a further stone sits in the gap between these two lines. Opposed single stones extend the inner lines of outer-walling beyond the eastern transverse slab. A displaced slab lies between the surviving gallery sidestones and another rests against the eastern transverse stone. Low traces of a mound surround the structure.
